Add a new component to an existing COMPLUS application?

[beach101]

I currently have a ComPlus application that is installed on a Windows Server 2003 R2 machine and I need to add one component to it (AppServer.dll). Is there a way to do this without uninstalling and re-installing the entire ComPlus application? Thanks in advance for any help. 🙂

Not that I have come across yet. Even updating seems to effectivly uninstall the old COM+ Applications and installs a new ones.

You dont need to uninstall the entire application just remove the components and add then call InstallComponent with your DLL

You can use a custom table if you need to list which of the components need to be removed first( a dll can contains some com+ components as you know)

You just add one?!!? so why do you think you need to uninstall the application first?
